About GHRI Ratings

X

Good Housekeeping Research Institute (GHRI) ratings are based on laboratory tests conducted by our scientists at the U.S.'s foremost consumer products evaluation laboratory, and incorporate consumer feedback. GHRI is situated on the 29th floor of the Hearst Tower in New York City and is staffed by chemists, engineers, nutritionists, textile specialists, culinary experts, and other scientists.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, GHRI experts test consumer products — from microwaves to mascaras — for their performance, safety, and, with the help of volunteer testers, ease of use.

Established in 1900, before there was a Federal Drug Administration or a Federal Trade Commission, GHRI has always been the most trusted source consumers can rely on to choose products that are safe and effective.

The bulky yet affordable Oster Countertop Oven took more than an hour to broil chicken

Osters Countertop Oven took more than an hour to broil chicken, and it cant easily accommodate six slices of bread. To activate the timer, you have to set it past the 20-minute mark, and the oven only turns off automatically when the timer is on. Plus, its big and eats up lots of counter space. But on the plus side, this unit toasts bread quickly and is good at baking potatoes. oster.com.
